Mostly Weird: I came across this site when I was looking for information on Japanese noise gods Fushitsusha. Naturally, I read through the site because the music being listed under "Today's CDs" were all quality. Reading through the archives, it finally hit me that it was Phil Freeman's blog, whose wonderful New York Is Now I just read last year. Freeman's writing is terrific, even if I've come across a few entries I don't really agree with. For those looking to expand their horizons, particularly in complex, noisy directions, this is a great place to start. His entries are well written (unlike the schock you're taking in here) and make me want to check out the music he covers (much the same way his book did). Plus, as it turns out, the man is a porno writer to boot! You gotta love that!
